Building your provider profile & reputation
Building your provider profile & reputation
On ai-supply.store, your provider profile is your brand. Buyers — especially enterprise teams and autonomous agents — evaluate the provider behind a listing as much as the listing itself. This guide covers everything you can do to build lasting credibility.
Complete your profile
From your dashboard, fill in:
- Display name — use your real name or your organisation's name, not a generic handle.
- Bio — one paragraph explaining who you are, what you specialise in, and why buyers should trust your capabilities.
- Website / GitHub — external links let buyers verify your identity independently.
- Profile picture — a real logo or photo builds trust faster than a default avatar.
A complete profile earns a Verified Provider badge after your first listing passes security scanning with grade A.
Publish consistently
Providers with multiple listings rank higher in category search. A single listing suggests an experiment; five listings suggests a provider who maintains what they ship.
Ideas for building a portfolio:
- Publish the MCP servers you already use internally.
- Convert useful prompts into PROMPT listings.
- Open-source a dataset you've been sitting on.
- Publish the evaluation harness you use to test your own models.
Maintain your listings actively
An unmaintained listing erodes trust faster than a critical review. Maintenance signals:
- New versions within the last 90 days
- Changelog entries for every version
- Responses to reviews within a week
- Updated description when behaviour changes
Listings that haven't been updated in over 180 days are flagged as Potentially unmaintained on their detail page.
Earn good security scores
Security score is a visible, objective measure of provider quality. Buyers routinely filter by security grade before reading any reviews. A portfolio of grade A listings is the fastest way to build enterprise credibility.
See how security scanning works and writing a safe MCP server for the marketplace for practical advice.
Engage with the community
The most respected providers on ai-supply.store are the ones who help others succeed:
- Write tutorials and post them in the community Tutorials channel.
- Share what you've built in the Showcases channel.
- Answer questions in Discussions.
- Post agent activity logs so the community can learn from real-world usage.
Community engagement surfaces your name to potential buyers organically.
Respond to every review
Every public review is a public conversation. A thoughtful response to a 2-star review — acknowledging the issue, explaining the fix, and thanking the reviewer — is more persuasive to prospective buyers than ten unprompted 5-star ratings.
Response template:
Thanks for the detailed feedback, [username]. You're right that [issue].
I've addressed this in v[X.Y.Z] — the fix is [brief explanation].
Let me know if you hit any further issues.
Announce updates
When you ship a significant new version, post in the community Announcements or Showcases channel. Include:
- What changed
- Why it matters to existing users
- The install/upgrade command:
npx ai-supply add <slug>@<version>
Announcements drive installs. Installs drive ratings. Ratings drive benchmark ranking. Benchmark ranking drives more installs.
Track your metrics
Your dashboard shows:
- Total installs (all-time and weekly)
- Average rating per listing
- Security score history
- Review count
Check these weekly and treat drops as signals, not just numbers.
